What are the must install VB4 mods?

[wcguy]

First of all, a Feature request. I would like to be able to click on a well respected poster's/coder's ID and see a list of installed MODs by that user, so I can get a feel of what others think is good/important.

Barring that, maybe a pinned thread of folks pasting a list of their currently installed mods?

I am setting up a new forum this weekend. It is a general purpose forum geared to an older crowd, not a gaming one, so the target market will be unsophistcated. I understand many popular mods, like the arcade, create an incentive to stick around and post, but I am not going down that path.

What are your ideas of must install mods that should go on every VB4 install? And are there great mods that conflict with one another?

I have, of course, Sorted the mods by installs and ratings and scanned the threads to see if I may want or need any particular one....

Here is list of what I think I am going to do. Am I missing something? Too many? What are yours?
(in no particular order)

A better plan would be for vb to build in any mod functionality that more than 10 people have installed.

[wcguy]

Wow Anime, and I thought 10 might be pushing the envelope!

They are all bold, does that mean that you think all are must haves?

And with that many, do you have any conflicts?

I'm a little biased here, but check out our mods, we try to cover pretty much everything (thanks mod, activity, optimization, shoutbox, triple triad game, user tagging, status and moods etc)

Also: Paul M's stuff is real good (who's online etc)
Downloads II is a great mod as well.

[ChopSuey]

OH yeah, if you don't know what a mod does don't even think of installing it because it isn't for you.
